I saw today a glint of
................. springtime green,
Gleaming quietly
......... aside a stream,
............................. new leaves
Uncurling early show
........ which, in appeal
....................to winter's needs
For going slow,
..............make believe
................begin-again is here.
That turn of the year
...............................has turned.
Absurd as it seems,
................................I now fear
That winter thinks
.................itself spring,
..................... and has sprung.
Glistening with new,
..................... but which sings
Too soon spring's song.
